I have no problem waiting a year to watch feature films via my overpriced cable provider, but the major drawback is that I never have any clue what's gong on during the Academy Awards show. I won't get any of Billy Crystal's inside jokes, and the video clip montages will only serve to confuse and annoy. So, for people like me, the highlight of any Oscar party is the food. Here are a few ideas that should garner rave reviews. Enjoy!

And as to overpriced cable - Cox has been running promos for $75 a month for Advance TV, Phone and Net. So I called and asked about it. The net is their essentials pack which is a drop in speed from what I have now, the price rises to $89 a month after a year. But he let slip that both net and Advanced TV prices are going up by $10 next month.

The conversation ended with me pointedly asking if they were trying to drive me into the arms of Verizon.
